New install - some questions
Where is the link to "about" so members can access it? (about.html in user templates)

Is there a help section for members to kow what Markup code is?

What does markup "code" button do?

Can a user upload an icon that only he/she can use?

Does this use hard drive space the more posts are created?

Thanks, but maybe you can elaborate on a couple of things:

What I meant was, how would a user get to that page from the forums? I don't see any links to "about"

I don't get this for some reason. On the markup code help page (thanks, btw) it just seems to have the same function of the "quote" option

So no actual HTML pages are created and stored on the hard drive? My last board ended up using tons and tons of hard drive space... my SQL server is on another box..

Thanks!

Just add a link to gforum.cgi?about in whichever template you want.
